This brief section covers the initial platforming path to the shipwreck during the A Pirate's Life mission. You will navigate from the survivor camp's boat to the hull of the distant galleon.

Path from the Survivor Camp

Start at the boat where the survivors are working. Turn left and leap to the wooden pier located to the south.

From this pier, begin making your way toward the distant galleon. This requires a series of jumps, though none are challenging.

Ascending the Platform and Using the Zip-Line

Continue until you reach a larger wooden platform. Find a ladder on this structure and climb to the top. From the top of the ladder, scramble up to a higher ledge. From here, locate and ride a zip line down to a lower area.

Final Approach to the Galleon's Hull

After landing from the zip-line, immediately leap to a horizontal beam in front of you. Use this beam to bounce off, then press the action button to sink your climbing axe into a wooden surface.

Traverse to the right, making additional jumps when necessary, until you reach a small hole in the hull of the galleon.
